What Role do Toxicologists Play in Implementing the CWC?
Toxicologists are involved in several critical aspects of the CWC:
Risk Assessment: They evaluate the toxicity and potential health impacts of chemicals listed in the schedules. Exposure Management: Toxicologists develop guidelines for safe handling and exposure limits for these chemicals. Antidote Development: Research is conducted to find effective treatments and antidotes for exposure to toxic agents. Forensic Toxicology: They assist in the investigation of alleged chemical weapon use by analyzing biological and environmental samples.
